Re: The Official BRITNEY SPEARS Discussion Thread!

I'm really excited about the FF Tour being released on Dvd (and tv). It's about time this bitch released a new live performance, it's only been seven years since Onyx. I'll definitely be buying this as soon as it's available.

I'm not sure about the music terms. I cant distinguish them when it comes to noisy houseclub-like music. I do admit I like her new singles but that's because they play it over and over again in radios. I'm not into techno beats. I heard many loud techno sounds in her new singles, like Hold It Against Me. Make my head hurts if I listen too many times

But I LOVE Criminal!!!! It's SO pop... No headache noises I'm more into tunes like Baby One More Time, Lucky, and her old songs. Yes, I know I'm gay, big time! LOL

Re: The Official BRITNEY SPEARS Discussion Thread!

5 previously unreleased demo tracks leaked a few days ago and I'm loving them all. But these two are the real standouts:

"Rockstar" -- I love the middle 8 in this song, very catchy and sassy.

"Everyday" -- I would love to hear more introspective material and this song proves she can deliver beyond a dance floor. With some serious vocal training, and singing in this style, she'd finally garner critical acclaim.

Re: The Official BRITNEY SPEARS Discussion Thread!

Yeah... the idea of Britney being a judge is just a fail rumor. Guest judge, maybe, but not a permeant one.

I like this previously unreleased vid, didn't know there was so much actual dancing and she was killing it effortlessly. "Sometimes" is probably one of her more underrated songs/videos. For me it's one of her better looks and her vocal performance is one of my favorites.

Re: The Official BRITNEY SPEARS Discussion Thread!

I'm amazed they're actually considering her for X Factor, yes she's a superstar but a judge of a singing competition? And a mentor?? Really? For the amount of live singing Britney does when she’s onstage, she’s more suited to be a judge on Rupaul’s Drag Race and not any real singing competition. “It’s time to lipsynch for your lives y’all!”

Re: The Official BRITNEY SPEARS Discussion Thread!

There seems to be conflicting reports, now it's being said she rejected the offer because she wanted $20 million to become a judge. We shall see...

MTV News posted their pros & cons list that I agreed with for the most part, particularly this one. I just can't imagine her being an effective judge when she hasn't spoken in a free forum in years.

Con: She's become nervous on camera
Though she can still wow a crowd live in concert, as evidenced by last year's successful tour behind her hit album Femme Fatale, Spears has become increasingly tentative during interviews. She rarely grants on-camera sit-downs, and when she does, she seems nervous and uncomfortable.

To be a strong judge or mentor on a reality show, you have to be very comfortable on camera. Part of what made Jennifer Lopez click last season on "Idol" was that she came across as confident, direct and often empathetic. She even broke down in tears after sending home contestant Chris Medina, whose fiancée suffered a severe brain injury in a car accident. The key word here is after. It's hard to imagine Spears being able to keep it together and deliver such difficult news in similar circumstances. It's worth noting that a high-drama situation arose on the first season of "The X Factor" -- one that left contestant Rachel Crow sobbing onstage and Scherzinger a wreck ... a wreck who received death threats. Producers should also consider whether it's wise to send Spears, who has dealt with emotional issues in the past, into a genre that thrives when the emotional stakes are high.
